It is the combination of technical and non-technical skills that an individual possesses, which are useful in performing a particular task or job.

I came to noticed that many Solomon Islanders are blessed with a lot of talents and gifts and a lot of our youths hone their skills through personal learning, practice and development. Just take some time off and browse on Facebook and you will be astounded with the photographs, video editing skills, writing and the IT skills displayed. They are just too good to be true.

It is interesting to note that the value of a person's skillset is often determined by their ability to perform a task or job effectively.

This is essential and very crucial for young people as it will help them to shine in their areas of interest and passion.

Also, as students, a valued skillset is essentialy important in preparing you for success when you look for jobs in the future. I believed that its time that our educational institutions should focus on developing and honing our students' skillsets to ensure they are competitive when they finished from high school, vocational, tertiary and the University. By emphasizing the development of valued skillsets such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork, educational institutions can produce students who are highly employable and contribute positively to society.

In entrepreneurship or businesses as known locally, a valued skillset is critical in starting and managing a successful business. Entrepreneurs need to have a specific set of skills, such as financial management, marketing, and sales, to develop and grow their businesses successfully. A valued skillset enables entrepreneurs to identify business opportunities, make informed decisions, navigate through challenges and successfully execute their plans.

Valued skillset is essential in all aspects of life, including personal growth, entrepreneurship, education, and employment. It provides individuals with opportunities to pursue their interests, passions, and goals, and contributes to personal and professional success. Valued skillset enables you to remain competitive in the job market, and it is essential in entrepreneurship, where it enables entrepreneurs to start and grow successful businesses.

Therefore, it is vital to recognize the importance of skillset and take steps to develop and hone it continually. As a nation that has a high rate of youths, Solomon Islands is in dire need to create platforms and opportunities where youths and young people can engage positively and most importantly to earn money and use it to help them achieve their goals and dreams.
